What God Really Wants From You (Romans 12:1–2)

What does God really want from you? Is it more money in the collection plate? More hours volunteering? More Bible verses memorized? In Romans 12:1–2, Paul gives a surprising answer—God doesn’t just want part of you, He wants all of you as a living sacrifice. In this Passage Unlocked study, Jim Murrell explains what it means to: Present your body as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. Refuse conformity to the world’s mold and instead be transformed. Renew your mind so you can discern God’s good, acceptable, and perfect will. For 11 chapters, Paul carefully laid the groundwork of God’s mercy—sin, salvation, grace, and faith. Then in Romans 12, he turns from doctrine to duty, from what God has done for us to what we must do for Him. This passage is the turning point, and it challenges every believer to give God their full obedience and devotion. 🙏 Application you’ll discover in this video: Daily dedication—start each morning by surrendering to God.
